I did it, I did it.... 50 book challenge!

I did it! The 50 book challenge has been completed! I hit the 50 book mark for the year last night, and hopefully the next few months will add some more interesting and readable books to the list!I have to say, I was a bit sad that I didn't get to the 50 book mark as soon as I did last year: last year, it was in the summer, but I have to give myself some slack- I had my baby girl in the Spring and now have 2 kids to chase after! :)

Here is the list: ( I linked to it for the option of you linking to the book information, etc.)

How do I do it?Every second that is spare! I read brushing my teeth, going potty (blush), in the car when CJ drives, at night when I can before falling asleep....on the treadmill at the gym. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to read!!

I can't believe this. Seriously, I am so sad to say i am lucky if I can read 5 books in a year. I think I need to set a personal goal for myself to try the challenge, but I think I have to modify it and set the bar at 25 for the first year. How in the world do you read at the gym? I've never been successful with the running, bouncing around.

Books Talking About Using An Egg Donor For Children

CJ and I love this book -- it explains how mommy had a part that didn't work, so another special lady comes to help because she has that special part that is needed. Beautiful pictures and simple, sweet text.
